- giantg2 4y agoThat's a little different from stuff like The Golden Book of Chemistry teaching you to distill alcohol and create chloroform.
- squarefoot 4y agoI used my chemistry set also to distill wine and drink the results, and for what I recall, it tasted good. Problem is that I was like 12, but did that only a couple times: creating stinking bubbling blobs was a lot more fun.
- giantg2 4y agoI liked created smoke bombs using sugar and potassium nitrate. One day, they went off while cooking them on my front porch. I poured some water on it so that any embers that fell between the board wouldn't ignite any leaves or debris under the porch. I mush have poured 40 gallons on it, because it was a cold day and the water was creating steam that I mistook for smoke. Not funny at the time, but pretty funny now. At least I had the sense to do it on a hotplate outside instead of in the house.

- WalterBright 4y agoThe Kosmos All-Chemist set was pretty much a Germanized Golden Book of Chemistry.
- jamal-kumar 4y agoOh cool, thanks for reminding me that this book even exists. What's really cool is you can just read it on the internet archive! [1] Almost makes me want to invest in some borosilicate glassware and lab safety equipment, and make a youtube series based on experiments in the book or something haha [1] https://archive.org/details/1960-the-golden-book-of-chemistry-experiments/mode/2up?view=theater https://archive.org/details/1960-the-golden-book-of-chemistr...
- asdff 4y agoWow. My college organic chemistry lab class was basically a childs chemistry set from the 70s then.
